No Worries Mate
No worries Mate ,
It’s an expression we've all used...
To let your fellow mate know,
You’re really not confused...
I bloody know what I am doing,
I'm not as stupid as you think...
As you shout out this little sentence,
And give your mate a wink...
But do you really have no worries,
And all is good as gold...
Or does there lurk another story,
Of which you've never told...
It seems the case for many,
Beneath that rough and callous skin...
Is there a less than perfect person,
Which lingers from within...
At times when we are struggling,
We put on the bravest smile...
When our life is in such turmoil,
Nothing seems worthwhile...
So we all have lot of worries,
You’re not alone and there that’s for sure...
That’s when I bend my mate’s ear
And ask them for a cure...
At times there’s no straight answer,
But a remedy will appear…
At the worst you’ll leave there laughing,
From the bullshit you will hear...
So don’t bottle it up inside,
Go on and spill your guts my friend...
Although the black clouds may be looming,
The world’s not going to end...
